PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Greg Baughen was educated at Sussex University where he obtained a degree in Mathematics. His interest in military aviation was sparked by curiosity over the defeat of British and French forces in the Battle of France in 1940. For many years, he has delved though public archives seeking explanations. The quest has taken him back to the origins of air power in both countries and forwards to what might have been in the Cold War. By the same author; 'Blueprint for Victory',' The Rise of the Bomber', 'The RAF in the Battle of France and Battle of Britain'.
This is certainly a bold little book for students of 1940's Blitzkrieg. Get a fresh slant on one of WWII's most maligned machines - and grab this ripping read. Photos, appendices and annotations augment the absorbing account. --Cybermodeler .. .a very interesting look at the Fairy Battle, and one which challenges the common perception of it as a failure. -- (06/01/2017) [...] an excellent and readable book which goes a long way towards explaining some of the strange decisions made in the 1939/1940 period, as well as finally rehabilitating the much-maligned Fairey Battle. -- (11/01/2017) an interesting and well argued examination of why the Battle was so spectacular a failure [...] the reasons clearly go much deeper than the Battle simply having been 'an obsolete aircraft. -- (10/01/2017)
